Here we go. The first pub quiz, from 7pm to 9pm on Tuesday 14 September. The Polish Club. From then on we'll do it about every month or so. Anywhere and everywhere. But to start: The Polish Club, better the cellar you know.

It'll probably be a quid each - just to cover our costs, and reinvest in prizes.

We like pub quizzes. Not your average ones with too many questions
about soaps & reality tv, or who won the FA cup in 2002, but in
more of a comedic vein. I’ve done written and hosted a bunch of bespoke
pub quizzes for various charities, like the Parkinson’s Disease Society and Asthma UK, and even the mighty mighty Pieminister, as well as the odd friend doing some awful charity fundraiser.

You can expect lots of rounds on curious subjects, Movie clips,
pictures, famous Jeffs, things that rhyme with goat, films, music, people with
moustaches, heroic failures, cryptic crossword clues, and obscure
connections. There will always be a famous Alan round. Always. And
questions about Bristol. Lots of short rounds, instead of rounds of 10 questions that start off being interesting, but by about the 7th question you've lost interest.

Don’t expect any references to Coronation Street, anything to do
with the Big Brother house, questions about bands who a) wear coats
indoors or b) those skinny ties, programmes with James Corden, and
cats. No cats.

I’m also keen on red herring questions. Like what country do you get
to if you head due South from Detroit? or which direction do you have
to head down the Panama canal to get to the Atlantic Ocean?

So expect lots of things. multimedia bits. And much pondering. It will be funny, informative, and give you a warm glow inside.

One main rule: No whinging that the other team didn't give you half a mark because you spelt Ukraine as "F-I-N-L-A-N-D". There will more rules, as and when we think of them.
